Is there any way to unlock the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 on the VRBMI1 firmware. I used goehots rooting tool. But can't find and way to install a custom recovery. Or even safestrap. I tried a few of the tutorials given on this website and bricked 3 tab 2 7.0. Did the devs give up on this tab already? Or what. I love this tab and would hate selling it.

Here's another method of rooting your Galaxy S2 without using ODIN.
(Safer method since you can brick your phone using ODIN. With this method, you cannot brick your phone ever.)
This will root your Galaxy S2 and install busybox.
If all you need is a rooted Galaxy S2 (without ClockworkMod Recovery), you can use this method and safe to do on "any" Galaxy S2 including U.S. versions as you are not flashing a new kernel.
Also since you are not flashing a new kernel, you won't have triangle after you root.
Note: I found that the 1-click method on Droid Razr works on Galaxy S2 so modified a bit for Galaxy S2.
can i use for my i9100g??

My wife just got a VZW Tab 2 7.0 and I am thinking about rooting it and unlocking the bootloader as described here using method 3 and here.
I'm wondering if anyone that has used this has seen the flash counter get tripped and if you have the triangle? I thought about Chainfire's triangle away app but it doesn't specifically list the SCH-I705 so I'm not sure if it'll work.
If this were my device I'd go for it and see what happens, but it isn't and I don't want her unhappy with it. She has a rooted Thunderbolt, but it is flawless, so she has high expectations. If you have used these methods I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 SCH-I925 that has some form of a custom build on it. The settings are locked with an admin password. It appears to be customized for a specific use and I'm trying to determine how it can be restored to a stock image of the appropriate Android build so that it can be put to good use. I've tried searching and find different instructions on how to install a fresh build and IPL to a stock system.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for your expertise.
Your first step is probably to Root. Please review Super Easy Root Method for Tab 10.1 (Noob Friendly Guide)

I bricked my Galaxy Note 2 trying to root it. It was at version 4.1.2, and I was using CASUAL. It's now stuck trying to boot up the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen just repeating over and over again. I tried flashing it with Odin, and it fails to write to NAND during boot.img. So, I'm wondering what my play is at this point.
I'm flashing to stock 4.1.2 with Odin 3.07. I've tried different USB cables, different ports, different versions of Odin. I've tried it with the battery in, with the battery out. I've tried accessing recovery mode (I can't). I've tried restarting my computer, updating Samsung Drivers, installing Kies, and just about every other suggested troubleshooting tip I could find, with no success. So, I'm pretty sure it's a paperweight now.
I can upgrade my phone and get something new, but with all the talk of locked boot loaders, and bounties for root, I'm not sure what I'd even get. I was considering an HTC M8 since they're free w/ 2 yr right now, but if I can't mess with custom roms down the line, or won't be able to root it, I feel like I'm back to being stuck on iOS. So, can somebody suggest a good upgrade to the Note 2 that won't be a total pain to mod? Or, even better, a fix for a bricked SCH-i605 Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon that can't enter recovery mode, or successfully flash with Odin?
Thanks.
